Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of biological medicine technologies, and more particularly, relates to a chloroquine gel for treating external genitalia infection and other cutaneous warts and a preparation method and application thereof.
  • Genital infections also called sexually transmitted diseases, refer to a group of diseases mainly transmitted by sexual contact. More than 20 infectious diseases caused by sex behaviors or similar sex behaviors are included in the category of genital infections internationally. Since the 1980s, floating population has been increasing day by day. With the change of sexual concept, unsafe sex behaviors have increased. Reproductive tract infection and sexually transmitted infection are increasing in China, and have spread from the coast to the inland and developed from the city to the countryside, so that the situation is quite severe. According to statistics, there are about 400,000 AIDS patients in China today, HIV infection is about 1 in 1,000, and about hundreds of people are infected every day, with characteristics of a large sexual transmission ratio and the transmission from a high-risk group to a general group.
  • the number of patients suffering from external genitalia infection of both sexes in China is still increasing year by year in recent years, an incidence rate in many areas ranks second and third in an order of infectious diseases, an incidence rate of lower genital tract infection among married women is as high as 50%, and 70% of women at least suffered from vulvovaginal candidiasis once in their lifetime, 5% to 10% of which suffered from recurrent vaginal candidiasis and 90% of which were infected with human papillomavirus.
  • An incidence rate of the external genitalia infection of both sexes is increasing so rapidly that a difficulty in control has become a serious social and public health problem to the world. Therefore, effective prevention and treatment of the external genitalia infection of both sexes have become very serious and urgent tasks at present.
  • the external genitalia infection is mainly treated by aiming at a pathogen in modern medicine.
  • prevention and treatment there are many kinds of pathogenic microorganisms causing the reproductive tract infection, and the variation and drug resistance of the pathogen make it extremely difficult to select an antibiotic medicine to prevent the reproductive tract infection.
  • the treatment of the external genitalia infection is mostly based on antibiotic or disinfectant administration.
  • irritation of a disinfectant to a local mucosa destroys an environment in a vagina, the use of the disinfectant is limited, and the disinfectant is usually only suitable for local treatment.
  • an antibiotic therapy often brings drug resistance and side effects. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new and highly effective medicine for external use with antibacterial and antiviral effects for the effective prevention and treatment of the external genitalia infection.
  • Chloroquine has always been used as a medicine to prevent and treat plasmodium infection, and is often used in gene transfection experiments to improve a transfection efficiency.
  • the high-concentration chloroquine is found to have an effect of inhibiting and killing cryptococcus in vitro through in-vitro studies, and effects of the chloroquine on two varieties of the cryptococcus are not different; and meanwhile, the chloroquine can enhance an anti-cryptococcal ability of amphotericin B and has a synergistic antibacterial effect with the amphotericin B.
  • many studies focus on an anti-HIV activity of the chloroquine.
  • the chloroquine has a broad-spectrum anti-HIV activity, and the chloroquine not only is aimed at a laboratory strain B evolved by HIV-1, but also has a great effect on primary isolates A, B, C, D and E evolved by HIV-1. It seems that a main mechanism of an anti-HIV effect of the chloroquine is to inhibit glycosylation of a gp120 virus envelope protein, resulting in that a newly generated virus particle has a severely reduced infectivity. Meanwhile, it is believed in studies that the chloroquine is an aminoquinine membrane-penetrating agent, which can be embedded into a double-stranded DNA and change a double helix form of a DNA by unwinding.
  • chloroquine can be used as a kind of intercalators such as acridine orange and ethidium bromide, which can selectively inhibit a covalent bond of a small plasmid DNA, and by changing a density of DNA supercoils, the closure of the supercoil can be changed, thus inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria and virus-infected cells.
  • a DNA of a human papillomavirus (HPV) causing a cervical cancer is such a plasmid, which is a supercoiled complex DNA, and performs DNA replication and RNA transcription.
  • the chloroquine has been proved to be able to inhibit the plasmid DNA and interfere with an activity of DNA polymerase by changing a superhelix density of the plasmid DNA. Due to the alkalescence, the chloroquine has been proved to cause mitochondrial dysfunction, such as accumulation of endosomes/lysosomes, change of a pH value and possible apoptosis. In addition, the chloroquine has been proved to reactivate inactivated P53 (HPV degradation/P53 inactivation), be connected to melanin (production of melanin occurs on the same layer of skin as HPV replication: a basal layer of epidermis), and prevent release of iron ions (iron catalyst/energy dependence of HPV during replication).
  • inactivated P53 HPV degradation/P53 inactivation

Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention belongs to the field of biological medicine technologies, and more particularly, relates to a chloroquine gel for treating external genitalia infection and other cutaneous warts and a preparation method and application thereof.
  • BACKGROUND
  • Genital infections, also called sexually transmitted diseases, refer to a group of diseases mainly transmitted by sexual contact. More than 20 infectious diseases caused by sex behaviors or similar sex behaviors are included in the category of genital infections internationally. Since the 1980s, floating population has been increasing day by day. With the change of sexual concept, unsafe sex behaviors have increased. Reproductive tract infection and sexually transmitted infection are increasing in China, and have spread from the coast to the inland and developed from the city to the countryside, so that the situation is quite severe. According to statistics, there are about 400,000 AIDS patients in China today, HIV infection is about 1 in 1,000, and about hundreds of people are infected every day, with characteristics of a large sexual transmission ratio and the transmission from a high-risk group to a general group. According to statistics, the number of patients suffering from external genitalia infection of both sexes in China is still increasing year by year in recent years, an incidence rate in many areas ranks second and third in an order of infectious diseases, an incidence rate of lower genital tract infection among married women is as high as 50%, and 70% of women at least suffered from vulvovaginal candidiasis once in their lifetime, 5% to 10% of which suffered from recurrent vaginal candidiasis and 90% of which were infected with human papillomavirus. An incidence rate of the external genitalia infection of both sexes is increasing so rapidly that a difficulty in control has become a serious social and public health problem to the world. Therefore, effective prevention and treatment of the external genitalia infection of both sexes have become very serious and urgent tasks at present.
  • The external genitalia infection is mainly treated by aiming at a pathogen in modern medicine. In terms of prevention and treatment, there are many kinds of pathogenic microorganisms causing the reproductive tract infection, and the variation and drug resistance of the pathogen make it extremely difficult to select an antibiotic medicine to prevent the reproductive tract infection. At present, in clinical practice, the treatment of the external genitalia infection is mostly based on antibiotic or disinfectant administration. However, since irritation of a disinfectant to a local mucosa destroys an environment in a vagina, the use of the disinfectant is limited, and the disinfectant is usually only suitable for local treatment. For bacterial genital infection, an antibiotic therapy often brings drug resistance and side effects. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new and highly effective medicine for external use with antibacterial and antiviral effects for the effective prevention and treatment of the external genitalia infection.
  • Chloroquine has always been used as a medicine to prevent and treat plasmodium infection, and is often used in gene transfection experiments to improve a transfection efficiency. The high-concentration chloroquine is found to have an effect of inhibiting and killing cryptococcus in vitro through in-vitro studies, and effects of the chloroquine on two varieties of the cryptococcus are not different; and meanwhile, the chloroquine can enhance an anti-cryptococcal ability of amphotericin B and has a synergistic antibacterial effect with the amphotericin B. At present, many studies focus on an anti-HIV activity of the chloroquine. Studies have shown that the chloroquine has a broad-spectrum anti-HIV activity, and the chloroquine not only is aimed at a laboratory strain B evolved by HIV-1, but also has a great effect on primary isolates A, B, C, D and E evolved by HIV-1. It seems that a main mechanism of an anti-HIV effect of the chloroquine is to inhibit glycosylation of a gp120 virus envelope protein, resulting in that a newly generated virus particle has a severely reduced infectivity. Meanwhile, it is believed in studies that the chloroquine is an aminoquinine membrane-penetrating agent, which can be embedded into a double-stranded DNA and change a double helix form of a DNA by unwinding. It is believed in bacteriological studies that the chloroquine can be used as a kind of intercalators such as acridine orange and ethidium bromide, which can selectively inhibit a covalent bond of a small plasmid DNA, and by changing a density of DNA supercoils, the closure of the supercoil can be changed, thus inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria and virus-infected cells. A DNA of a human papillomavirus (HPV) causing a cervical cancer is such a plasmid, which is a supercoiled complex DNA, and performs DNA replication and RNA transcription. In turn, the chloroquine has been proved to be able to inhibit the plasmid DNA and interfere with an activity of DNA polymerase by changing a superhelix density of the plasmid DNA. Due to the alkalescence, the chloroquine has been proved to cause mitochondrial dysfunction, such as accumulation of endosomes/lysosomes, change of a pH value and possible apoptosis. In addition, the chloroquine has been proved to reactivate inactivated P53 (HPV degradation/P53 inactivation), be connected to melanin (production of melanin occurs on the same layer of skin as HPV replication: a basal layer of epidermis), and prevent release of iron ions (iron catalyst/energy dependence of HPV during replication). Iron is necessary for DNA replication, and the iron also acts as an electronic catalyst in transportation and storage of oxygen. However, the iron is also a vital substance for pathogen survival and virus replication. Inhibition of iron particles is also an important mechanism for the chloroquine to kill viruses and virus-infected cells. ANBARASAN B ET AL ("Optimization of the formulation and in-vitro evaluation of chloroquine loaded Chitosan nanoparticles using ionic gelation method', JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, vol. 6, no. 2 1 April 2013, pages 106-112) discloses chitosan-based chloroquine phosphate nanoparticles with a drug-to-polymer ratio of 1:3 to 1:5.
  • At present, there's no medicine of chloroquine for external use, especially the medicine that has no external preparation with less irritation and wider curative effect. In clinical application, the chloroquine is mainly used to treat an acute malaria attack and control a malaria symptom. The chloroquine can also be used for treating hepatic amebiasis, clonorchiasis sinensis, paragonimiasis, connective tissue disease, etc. The chloroquine can also be used for treating photosensitive diseases such as erythema solare disease. A tablet and an injection are used for treating malaria with large dosage and long course of treatment, which may have serious side effects on gastrointestinal tract and skin. In addition, the chloroquine has certain irritation on skin, causing skin damage and various types of rashes. Therefore, how to reduce the irritation of the chloroquine and the side effects, and improve an application value of the chloroquine by changing a dosage form has become the main problem at present.
  • A medicine microsphere refers to a tiny spherical entity formed by medicine dispersion or adsorption in a high-molecular polymer matrix. A microsphere preparation has a long-acting, sustained-release or targeted effect, which can greatly improve convenience and compliance of patients in medication, with outstanding advantages in clinic, so that the preparation is a potential dosage form. In addition, a microsphere preparation product has a great added value and a broad market prospect, and has become a hot spot in medicine research and development in recent years.

  • FIG. 5 is a shape diagram of gel products with different ratios observed on a smooth glass plane (a mass ratio of chloroquine phosphate to chitosan is respectively 1:5, 1:3, 1:1, 1:0.5 from No. 1 to No. 4 gel products, wherein No. 5 is a product of pure chitosan); and FIG. 6 shows flowing of the gel products with different ratios on the smooth glass plane in 1 minute.
  • The experiment showed that when the ratio of the chloroquine phosphate to the chitosan was 1:1 or 1:0.5, the gel prepared was uneven in texture, had small particles, and had a poor fluidity. When the ratio of the chloroquine phosphate to the chitosan was 1:5 or 1:3, the product with gel of even texture, a pH suitable for vaginal and skin administration, a moderate viscosity, color and odor meeting the needs of different populations, and a stable chloroquine content was prepared. However, when the mass ratio of the chloroquine phosphate to the chitosan was 1:5, the chloroquine content was lower and a medicine effect was limited to a certain extent, and under comprehensive consideration, when the mass ratio of the chloroquine phosphate to the chitosan was 1:3, the product was better in performance.
  • Embodiment 6 Irritation test of chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel on damaged skin 1. Experimental method
    1. (1) New Zealand rabbits were used as experimental objects, left and right skins of the same body were compared with each other, a " Tic-Tac-Toe" symbol (with an area of about 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm) was marked on skins of administration parts on left and right sides respectively by using an intra-individual left/right skin self-comparison method. 1.0 g of tested substance was given to the left side, wherein an administration dose was 9 cm2/per rabbit, an application area of each time was 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm. 1.0 g of white vaseline was given to the right side as a negative control side. Animals in each group were administered once a day for 28 consecutive days.
  • Groups of the tested substances were respectively as follows:
    • Group A: a control group, with a blank gel matrix,
    • Group B: a chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel group 1, wherein a mass ratio of chloroquine phosphate to chitosan was 1: 3,
    • Group C: a chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel group 2, wherein a mass ratio of chloroquine phosphate to chitosan was 1: 5,
    • Group D: a chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel group 3, wherein a mass ratio of chloroquine phosphate to chitosan was 1: 0.5, and
    • Group E: a chloroquine phosphate gel group.
  • Before each application, and 1 hour after each medicine removal, and 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 14 days after the last medicine removal on the 28th day, erythema and edema at the administration parts were observed and recorded respectively on each observation time point for the animals in each group above, and the erythema and the edema were scored. Meanwhile, it was necessary to observe whether pigmentation, bleeding point, skin roughness or skin thinning occurred at the administration parts, and to record occurrence and regression time of the pigmentation, the bleeding point, the skin roughness or the skin thinning.
  • (2) For the animals in the five groups above, left and right skins of the administration parts of the animals in each group were respectively subjected to histopathological examination on the 14th day after the last medicine removal.
  • 2. Results (1) Skin observation results of each group Test results:
  • On the negative control side (right side), the skins of the administration parts of the animals in each tested substance group had no obvious irritation reaction on each observation time point, so that it could be judged that a result of a negative control substance (white vaseline) was negative.
  • Group A: no obvious irritant reaction was found on all the observation time points, so that it could be judged that the blank gel matrix had no irritation on skin.
  • Group B: the skins of the administration parts on the tested substance side (left side) of 6/6 animals had slight erythema or edema on the visual observation time point from the 1st day to the 12th day, no obvious abnormality was found in observation on the administration parts of each animal from the 12th day to the time before necropsy, and histopathological examination results of 72 hours after and the 14th day after the last medicine removal showed that the skins of the administration parts on the tested substance side of 6/6 animals had slight edema in 2 cases and no obvious abnormal change in other cases. Therefore, the irritation above tended to be judged in that the medicine slightly aggravated a mechanical stimulation after the skin was damaged.
  • Group C: the skins of the administration parts on the tested substance side (left side) of 6/6 animals had slight erythema or edema on a visual observation time point from the 1st day to the 12th day, no obvious abnormality was found in observation on the administration parts of each animal from the 12th day to the time before necropsy, and histopathological examination results of 72 hours after and the 14th day after the last medicine removal showed that the skins of the administration parts on the tested substance side of 6/6 animals had no obvious abnormal change. Therefore, the irritation above tended to be judged as a mechanical stimulation after the skin was damaged.
  • Group D: 4/6 of the administration parts on the tested substance side (left side) of the 6/6 animals had relatively obvious erythema or edema on the 12th day, scabs fell off during administration, the skin surfaces failed to completely heal when the scabs fell off, and wounds healed obviously 72 hours after the last medicine removal.
  • Group E: 4/6 of the damaged parts of the administration parts on the tested substance side (left side) of the 6/6 animals cracked on the 11th day, and tended to be outwards extended, the erythema or the edema at the administration parts was more obvious than that in the previous period, scabs were continuously regenerated and then fell off, and the skin surface failed to completely heal when the scabs fell off, which was significantly different from the negative control side (the intra-individual right side). Combined with the histopathological examination results of 72 hours after and the 14th day after the last medicine removal, the 6/6 animals had obvious abnormalities in the skins of the administration parts on the tested substance side, wherein 3 cases autopsied 72 hours after the last medicine removal showed a certain degree of damage, obvious thickening of an epidermal layer, disorder of arrangement of subepidermal connective tissues, proliferation of fibrous tissues, infiltration of inflammatory cells, scab of epidermis, depression of a part of epidermis, fuzzy structure, etc., and 3 cases autopsied on the 14th day after the last medicine removal showed local epidermal thickening, disorder of arrangement of subepidermal connective tissues, proliferation of fibrous tissues and infiltration of inflammatory cells.
  • It could be seen from the experimental results above that irritation of chloroquine phosphate chitosan nanosphere gel on the damaged skins was significantly lower than that of chloroquine phosphate gel (general external preparation) after multiple administration to the damaged skins of the New Zealand rabbits. For the chloroquine phosphate chitosan nanosphere gel, the lower the ratio of the chloroquine/nanosphere carrier was, the smaller the irritation reaction on the skin was, and the better the repair of the damaged skin after stopping administration was. However, the chloroquine gel could cause worse damage on the damaged skins, when the negative control side was completely repaired, the skins on the chloroquine gel side could not be repaired normally, and the skins on the chloroquine gel side could only recover to a certain extent 14 days after stopping administration, with an obvious difference, which indicated that the chloroquine had an irritation effect on the damaged skins, and the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere could significantly reduce the irritation effect, which might be related to antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing promoting effects of the chitosan itself.
  • (2) Pathological examination results
  • Group A: as shown in FIG. A1 (blank matrix side) and FIG. A2 (negative control side) in FIG.7, skin epidermis, dermis and accessories were in good condition structurally, and inflammatory cell infiltration and small vessel dilatation were not found.
  • Group B: as shown in FIG. B1 (chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel) and FIG. B2 (negative control side) in FIG. 7, FIG. B2 showed that the skin epidermis, the dermis and the accessories were in good condition structurally, and the inflammatory cell infiltration and the small vessel dilatation were not found. Compared with the negative control side, FIG. B1 showed that a small focal epidermal layer of the skins in the group was slightly thickened, with infiltration of a small number of inflammatory cells.
  • Group C: as shown in FIG. C1 (chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel side) and FIG. C2 (negative control side) in FIG. 7, FIG. C2 showed that the skin epidermis, the dermis and the accessories were in good condition structurally, and the inflammatory cell infiltration and the small vessel dilatation were not found. FIG. C1 showed that a local epidermal layer of the skins in the group was slightly thickened, a number of cell layers was obviously increased, and the cells grew extendedly to a dermis layer; and arrangement of subepidermal connective tissues was disordered, with infiltration of some inflammatory cells.
  • Group D: as shown in FIG. D1 (chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel side) and FIG. D2 (negative control side) in FIG. 7, FIG. D2 showed that the skin epidermis, the dermis and the accessories were in good condition structurally, and the inflammatory cell infiltration and the small vessel dilatation were not found. Compared with the negative control side, FIG. D1 showed that the local epidermal layer in the group was slightly thickened, and the number of the cell layers was increased, with infiltration of a small number of inflammatory cells.
  • Group E: as shown in FIG. E1 (chloroquine gel side) and FIG. E2 (negative control side) in FIG. 7, on the negative control side, the skin epidermis, the dermis and the accessories were in good condition structurally, the inflammatory cell infiltration and the small vessel dilatation were not found, while a local epidermal layer of the skins on the chloroquine gel side had scabs, and the epidermis was obviously thickened; a part of scab skins were closely connected with a subcutaneous tissue, the epidermal layer was sunken, a structure was fuzzy, and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated with fibrous tissue hyperplasia; a number of hair follicles in a dermal layer was decreased significantly; and however, no obvious abnormality was found in a muscular layer and the subcutaneous tissue.
  • The pathological examination results above showed that compared with the chloroquine gel, gel of the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere group had obvious advantages in irritation and healing after medicine withdrawal. In each chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere group, the lower the ratio of the chloroquine to the nanosphere carrier was, the smaller the irritation reaction to the skin was.
  • According to the skin observation results and the pathological examination results, the irritation reaction of the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel on the skins was obviously smaller than that of the chloroquine gel, which indicated that the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere greatly reduced an irritation side effect of the chloroquine on the skins and promoted wound healing to a certain extent. When a mass ratio of the chloroquine to the chitosan was not more than 1: 3, an irritation effect was smaller and a medicine content was the highest.

  • The research results above showed that compared with the chloroquine gel, the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel could obviously improve vaginitis caused by herpes virus. A degree of inflammation of each group was compared: the model control group > the chloroquine phosphate group E > the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel group D > the chloroquine-chitosan nanosphere gel group C > the blank control group. Moreover, the combined application of chloroquine and chitosan could significantly improve vaginal edema, and the results were similar to the degree of inflammation, which indicated that the combined application of the chloroquine and the chitosan had a significant increased therapeutic effect.
